and with thousands more left stranded the
00:04:24
Ugandan Red Cross Irene Ses such and
rescue operations in the regions
00:04:31

Ugandan authorities said the flooding is

expected to recede in January as the weather

about 2800000 people and left
at least 280 dead un arches say
00:05:55
that the unusually heavy rainfall was
driven by the differences in sea surface
00:06:00
temperature between western and eastern
areas of the Indian Ocean the un office say
00:06:06
grains were expected to diminish in the
weeks ahead but heavy rains would likely
00:06:11
persist into December and intensify in
Kenya Tanzania and Uganda any math money

News company. Experts say
deteriorating security
00:06:25
and growing violence in the Sahara live
region has combined with drought to worsen
00:06:30
the hunger crisis in the 16 countries

00:06:35
urgent food aid in the. Agent more than
doubled this year to some $9400000.00 with
00:06:41
Nigeria and he shared and work in
00:06:43
a fast so hit the hardest at the current
rate the number of people in crisis is
00:06:48
expected to grow to 14400000 by
June through August including with
00:06:54
1200000 in emergency conditions the vast
expanse of the Sahara along the southern
00:07:01
rim of the Sahara is extremely vulnerable
to drought even as birth rates surge
00:07:07
across the region. Activists say Kenya's
00:07:13
remote island of Lamu
00:07:15
a UNESCO World Heritage site is under
threat authorities are constructing major
00:07:22
projects on the mainland including
00:07:24
a port and an oil pipeline they also hope
to build the region's 1st coal fired
00:07:30
power plant while the infrastructure is
likely to boost the local economy some Lamo
00:07:36
residents who are either development that
the migration of outsiders will affect
00:07:41
the local culture and the architecture which
some say is already falling apart rude
00:07:48
Elman drop reports from Lamu where in the
narrow streets of la and Kenya where
00:07:54
cars don't fit and donkeys are the main
mode of transport the remoteness of the
00:08:00
island has helped maintain its 650 year
old Swahili culture and traditions.
00:08:07
But locals are wary construction of
00:08:09
a new ports all pipeline and transport
links on the mainland will bring more
00:08:15
outsiders to settle
00:08:16
a large move and change the young the
culture. We is with the century old
00:08:23
mosque we're trying our best to prevent
that kind of intervention or sort of that
00:08:28
kind of new development so that we can
preserve the level authorities say the
00:08:34
26000000000 group of projects will improve
economic links between Kenya South
00:08:40
Sudan s.e.l.p.
00:08:42
I create thousands of jobs but the Kenyan
Corteen June halt its construction of
00:08:48
a coal fired power plant to trust to
help fuel the projects and courage and
00:08:54
opponents. Met is an activist
opposed to the coal plant we as
00:09:00
people are afraid because when people
come from other areas they come with many
00:09:05
things their own language their own culture
I mean their only way of living ended
00:09:12
these smite all that culture way that's
people have to leave and activists worried
00:09:18
that Pratchett's could also affect law
meltdowns unique and take character. More
00:09:24
than
00:09:24
a 3rd of law most historic buildings are
already falling apart says Us man who say
00:09:30
of the national museums of Kenya some
of their owners do not want any kind of
00:09:35
intervention they think
possibly putting money into
00:09:38
a building perhaps you will admit you were
actually owning it you are taking over
00:09:42
'd at that particular building so it is
00:09:44
a very complex that kind of thing I thought
it is vile they were protecting the
00:09:49
islands Well Tara from the
development projects for him out
00:09:53
a fact is with alarm county government
we have also put measures to ensure that
00:09:59
their laps at activities will remain on
the mainland of land that is in the area.
00:10:06
And the lakes and that's the law I'm
watching that Islam island starting from all
00:10:12
the way to keep the army remains with its
status of heritage Lamo authorities say
00:10:18
they are raising funds to help renovate
historic buildings and develop the economy
00:10:24
with tourism as
00:10:25
a major peril or at the risk of
commercializing their culture some argue that
00:10:31
bringing in more tourists may actually
help keep alarm was unique traditions
00:10:35
a life through time and art for real
00:10:38
a news man who can you. Zimbabwe's water
00:10:45
problems are escalating I made
00:10:47
a grinding drought which has left millions
food insecurity and resulted in the
00:10:51
deaths of thousands of animals at
00:10:54
a Gondo gives us more on the story
from below while you but I switch or
00:10:58
a situation after the go also
to decommission I wanted them
00:11:02
a few days ago in June to cancel b.c.c.
00:11:06
Decommissioned upon them again and the
local authorities now left with force
00:11:10
instead of the normal 6 and the 4 dams
that just 36 percent for the city council
00:11:14
says it continues to face challenges
with punk juju electricity. City council
00:11:20
introduced 72 hours which accounts for most
of the city's monthly. Resident and God
00:11:25
We need to chip in Lois was to area Venice
is frustration where I was to be having
00:11:29
4 days without
00:11:30
a word in terms of forward to shooting
what I can say is that you will no longer
00:11:35
pay attention to what if
00:11:36
a cancer tells us in terms of the days when
they're going to be sitting so early we
00:11:42
wake up in the morning or pin the tape to
see if there isn't any word so it happens
00:11:47
now I just using it today are
going to need to do ma'am
00:11:50
a bad thing because it is it can go even
for days in the order we keep most of the
00:11:54
time there will be no it's chooses
residence used to rely on tanks hoboes are
00:12:00
supplied by consul which have gone track
now live there to rely on alternative
00:12:04
sources but the end the ball is there these
overcrowded given queue forward in the
00:12:09
morning up to 10 pm So if the situation
is so dire or we don't know what happened
00:12:15
to their bows as the Before they used to
bring Bowser's but I have never seen them
00:12:20
for quite some time some of us economy has
declined sharply in the past 2 years the
00:12:24
country faces shortages of currency fuel
and imported goods such as medicine and
00:12:29
missionary the prolonged drought has added
to the problems particularly because the
00:12:33
country lays on hydro power for much of
its electricity and in some areas it was
00:12:38
a true move to power it's the city council
warns residents in stick What does that
00:12:42
decommissioning of money flow
for all water to 95 mega liters
00:12:48
a day that's against the current daily
average consumption of $151.00 meg Well
00:12:54
Council is say that companies in the
industrial areas have been spread the word to
00:12:58
cuts business owners that report their tips
are running dry and it's very much the
00:13:02
business of operating into
00:13:03
a Benetton ship say something agent needs
to be done we have to rely on the vows
00:13:08
that water and
00:13:09
a boat whatever else so I would say subsidy
more expanded rendered impotent money
00:13:15
Methinks the solution needs to be emission
$1.00 through this about the mission of
00:13:19
water I thought it was in one which is
the mandate to sustainably develop. And
00:13:24
manage the countries which at least what
needs to happen is to come whatever may
00:13:28
come and go about where is there is there
any says it now so I'll do what I can
00:13:31
well the Dems will get
00:13:32
a bit of what some think it threatens here
is that Margaret it was up there might

00:34:31
Video way some
00:34:32
a young and you're listening to the
sunny side of sports on the Voice of
00:34:38
America and pro boxing Anthony Joshua
reclaimed the world heavyweight title over
00:34:44
the weekend when he scored
00:34:46
a unanimous decision victory against Andy
Ruiz Jr in Saudi Arabia we always go
00:34:52
when Newton has reaction from both fighters
now sporty gratings going. Green in
00:34:59
sunny following his victory Anthony Joshua
what we did this strategy and loyalty
00:35:05
I'm not perfect but I'm trying another
defining moment for British boxing thank you
00:35:12
to all my team
00:35:13
a night we will remember and thank you
where we used Jr We made history in the 2
00:35:18
boxers did make history their rematch
dubbed the clash on the Dunes was the 1st
00:35:25
ever world heavyweight championship fight
to take place in the Middle East and
00:35:30
afterwards the remarkably fresh looking
heavyweight champion told reporters it's
00:35:35
good when everything works out in the end
you know just talk. And we just flowed we
00:35:41
just we just blocks away from each throne
and Rob always told me even this point is
00:35:45
take it why don't just take it round by
round Don't worry about doing that why
00:35:49
about doing I just take it
round by round and it's
00:35:53
a brilliant. It's brilliant when
00:35:55
a parent comes together everything up in
school has to be put in and showcase them
00:36:00
one night and then. You know round by round
we won and we always have victim so.
00:36:06
Everything was up pretty well and Joshua
was asked if the victory was satisfying
00:36:11
despite not defeating Ruiz by
a knock out nice to chaotic
00:36:16
a light there was times I looked in on
these eyes and I wanted to put my head but
00:36:21
then I thought so myself this is boxing you
know I need to win for myself I need to
00:36:26
show people that this is the sweet science
of the scores well it's not it's not
00:36:32
like
00:36:33
a script where they say Anthony is going
to go it's not it's not wrestling this is
00:36:37
real life and it's dangerous so at the
box of my game plan and my coaches they
00:36:41
devised
00:36:42
a great strategy and I trusted in them and
I followed it through so even though.
00:36:49
I took my loss I took it like I'm understood
and I people comparing it to an exam
00:36:56
when you take your exam if you throw the
1st time you study and you prepare better
00:37:00
the next time and. I just knew it would
of my preparation my education and
00:37:07
discipline I just knew I was going to pass
this exam like it is and going into the
00:37:12
12th and final round
and the Ruiz Jr needed
00:37:15
a knockout to retain the heavyweight title
but that punch never came Saturday's
00:37:20
bout ended much differently for We've been
00:37:23
a did 6 months ago when he stopped
the previously undefeated Joshua be
00:37:28
a knockout in the 7th round and the
contrast didn't stop there the visual
00:37:34
difference between the 2 fighters has been
00:37:37
a talking point prior to their title rematch
Ruiz weighed in the heaviest he has
00:37:42
been for a fight in a
decade and he says that was
00:37:46
a mistake I was slimmer put on the weight
and hills it was my mistake you know.
00:37:54
And you know I think I felt so confident
and all that but I think I should have
00:38:01
trained harder I should. I said
00:38:03
a dead and lessons from my to my team and
so my coaches and you know nobody really
00:38:09
knows about. The training that we had
you know we did the best we can and we
00:38:16
always added his weight was not the only
mistake he made going into the fight then
00:38:21
we started to lay and I don't want
to say that 3 months of partying or
00:38:28
that I had
00:38:29
a salivary and one kind of back make has
cited show the kind of did and. Well
00:38:37
can I say. Learn learned this mistake
and I'm glad I learned and now that I'm
00:38:44
still young you know this is just
the beginning for me and there's
00:38:47
a lot more flies coming soon Anthony Joshua
On the other hand seem to have learned
00:38:53
from his past mistakes looking lighter
than ever Joshua dictated the pace of the
00:38:59
fight from the very 1st round and now with
00:39:02
a record of 23 wins and one defeat he was
asked what the chances are that he will
00:39:08
fight the winner of the
upcoming Tyson Fury Deonte
00:39:11
a wilder rematch I couldn't even tell you
the best thing would be to let them to
00:39:16
just get on with their fly and I thought
once that done they'll have a bit more of
00:39:21
a clue of what they want to do with their
careers and then if we're in their plans
00:39:25
and they know it's a fine us we're taking
00:39:29
a lot head injuries and I'm feeling more
and more confident as as the months and
00:39:33
weeks are going to Meanwhile
really as has hinted as
00:39:36
a possible 3 peat with the newly crowned
heavyweight champion and Joshua seemed to
00:39:41
be open to that suggestion and we will keep
you posted sports fans and that is all
00:39:47
from Mays Sunny back over to you
Thanks Gwen that's my video
00:39:51
a colleague when 10 for more reaction
to Anthony Joshua's victory Iron
00:39:58
Mike and bone Yeah he contacted the
president of the Nigerian Boxing Board of
00:40:03
Control roughly 000000 depo don't
foremost I'm lost I'll call it I
00:40:09
memorized all regular rich I'm
tired of. All I don't do You said
00:40:16
no cheering I'm no our own
minute one. More picture.
00:40:23
Children just are shouting I'm not going
to watch us fight. Want to watch fights I
00:40:30
don't know I'm going to step down and don't
go oh no I told my chariots 08 more us
00:40:35
. By the way this fight I was on telling
00:40:38
a I was on radio and I told him I actually
should fight because I'm. Sorry I
00:40:45
said if I tell you see a
problem I don't want to fight
00:40:48
a man like that asked your Aunt Janet just
sure you're right Charlamagne I lasted
00:40:52
longer reach the best way you can fight
them is to fight them from the cast down
00:40:57
strike them from the outside juggling with
your left want to all I can into right
00:41:01
and that's what it takes tryout and how
may I am sure I did that change in
00:41:07
a despair and a far cry it made
00:41:09
a mistake to have it was something I did
fall back. On direct that in believing
00:41:16
that it would just be what done God existing
to is can I use this and it worked out
00:41:21
it was an overwhelming it's far and there
is this sense that they are all they want
00:41:27
all the rounds I thought it tried and
still had all the while I have stood tall
00:41:32
just given to want to give him
one so I'll turn a church or
00:41:36
a nice touch Oh good now any Muslim I know
who fly with chicks return and the rules
00:41:42
after one or the you feel is the future
of I'm told the judge that he has to be
00:41:48
clearly is built Do you think if you go out
and fight the wild fires actually just
00:41:54
for
00:41:54
a mistrial after all if you had closed down
I pointed out you might well have called
00:41:59
him to call it
00:42:00
a day if you're still only sad I've replied
it was well I rest for now but it now
00:42:07
wants issue rest and then think of the
next afternoon I don't think you should go
00:42:12
out fight to me to think that impressed
I let them turn up right before you can
00:42:17
begin to see my dear has. Hands
in the making many books
00:42:23
rise and become one day well I can ask for
churches 1 and washing outroar since I
00:42:30
think you and the president of the us one
of one who has. A water bottle. But I
00:42:36
can't just fall right there. Was to me
but no I mean. I thought well since
00:42:43
some of the young farmers all had that
because I want to jump you. Know it's just
00:42:49
what you know I would cut you could also
fly well then how can you know what that
00:42:54
can actually walk on that door like you
said but let me tell you what I think god.
00:43:00
I've got but isn't there another is just
so Well 1 you know it's on the level where
00:43:05
it's yes or no you did not provide I think
this well I'm not sure that the roots
00:43:09
balance that's right for you all the deep
oh the president of the Nigerian Boxing
00:43:15
Board of Control He spoke with Iron Mike
and bone Yama telephone from Lego's
00:43:21
Nigeria I'm Sonny young and you're
listening to the Sunnyside of
00:43:27
sports on the Voice of
America it's time to cool
00:43:34
between the ropes once again with our
reigning Prensa pugilistic so numb d.
00:43:40
Hollywood Mo wait Good evening nom de
guerre Good evening sunny Nandi it seemed
00:43:46
like a.j.
00:43:47
Followed your game plan stick with the
jab bake those rounds easy unanimous
00:43:54
decision victory over Andy
Ruiz Jr was this a.j.
00:43:59
S best performance of his career I
was number one. And then the 2nd
00:44:06
will be met Klitschko when all this was
00:44:10
a master class he was able to
raise. Best a way to guarantee
00:44:17
a way with less Rams so I would
say this one which really is
00:44:22
a rematch based on his performance and
I'm saying it again this is just the
00:44:27
beginning to see the best. Nanda
you said before the fight how
00:44:34
much a.j.
00:44:34
Needed to. Change his style make adjustments
it seemed like he really followed
00:44:40
through you can correlate success kudos to
his team I do not believe we'll be able
00:44:47
to do it in 6 months if I
had a game plan and a.j.
00:44:52
a Photo of the game that if you look at
00:44:54
a fight closely you know
what set and why it's
00:44:56
a fight where he wanted to stand and mix
it up with really as I was rewarded about
00:45:01
it. In a fight game you can
make a very tough fight
00:45:05
a bit easy fight you look at it look like
it was aspiring You know some boxing fans
00:45:10
I used to see in heavyweights bring their
knockouts and I said it before this fight
00:45:15
I said there will be no duck outs
you know ducked down I had to be
00:45:19
a boring fight with some people but he did
what he had to do to win and that's what
00:45:23
my it went bad for England $80000000.00 and
$3.00 belts that is bounce back that's
00:45:30
what counts not do you
said this is probably
00:45:33
a jays best performance what about his jab
is that the best you've seen is jab they
00:45:38
jab reminds me of Larry Holmes jab go back
and look at Larry Holmes fight the Japs
00:45:44
always been the bread and butter would
have got jab you couldn't do it had to use
00:45:48
that Jap to put. And they're always off
balance and get really just without coming
00:45:54
and they're always going to set him step
and they're always going to square off
00:45:57
because there was nobody in front of him
and not only the Jap the footwork the
00:46:01
movement you know the movement the stick
and move stick can move sting like
00:46:06
a bee Flatow what you call it will have
it at least. This fight kind of takes you
00:46:12
back to the fight
00:46:13
a rumble in the jungle in Africa. It had
all the other brains all the styles that
00:46:20
there was no need to go d.m.
00:46:21
Back with this guy and get out and get
your nose broken now keep it moving stick
00:46:27
and move make it easy go home the ones
that don't like the fight then go look for
00:46:33
the un to weild it with this one punch
knockouts and this might be the lightest
00:46:38
we've seen a.j.
00:46:40
In his heavyweight career he looked in
great shape. You could see his muscles
00:46:46
popping out whereas the former world
heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz rather shameful
00:46:53
I think Nom de to make your 1st title
defense and come in 16 pounds heavier
00:47:00
than you did in the 1st fight Sonny he
said Friday morning when he got up got on
00:47:04
the scale he would 268 arms and you know
for this fight in Saudi Arabia to weigh in
00:47:09
was at 5 pm in America well we have big
fights we weigh at 1 pm or noon so between
00:47:17
it and the blacks being in Saudi Arabia
you were busy eating so you went from 268
00:47:23
to 21 and 3 pounds just
couldn't stay away from the.
00:47:30
Set and I know that school is at all to
dream you just showed no discipline or lack
00:47:35
of discipline when you're leaving California
you leave if you have many and it is
00:47:40
a man that made 10000000 for his flag
and then came back to California when I
00:47:45
thought it would $40000000.00 It is going
to be to dry for him to go up and get to
00:47:49
. Train he didn't train for 3 months in

out in the last round in the 2nd part of
the flight so that's why he was and able
00:48:11

Barack Obama Troyer was removed from
00:58:21
the impeachment hearing by police and
committee chairman Jerry Nadler was able to
00:58:26
proceed it the debates around the framing
make clear that the most serious of such
00:58:30
offenses including abuse of power the
trail of the nation through fire and
00:58:35
entanglements and corruption of public
office any one of these violations of the
00:58:42

this committee to take action the ranking
00:58:46
Republican on the committee
Doug Collins called the process
00:58:50
a focus group impeachment
00:58:52
a take this may be though become known as
the focus group impeachment because we
00:58:57
don't have
00:58:57
a crime we don't have anything we can
actually pan and nobody understands really
00:59:01
what the majority is trying
to do except live in
00:59:03
a fair embrace big make sure that they
believe the president can't win next year if
00:59:08
he's engaged now if President Trump is
in pitch the Republican majority Senate
00:59:13
would try him on the impeachment allegations
in January but his conviction by the
00:59:18
required 67 of the chambers 100 members
and removal from office remains on likely
00:59:24
at least 20 Republicans would have
to turn against President Trump for
00:59:27
a conviction but none has called for his
conviction and ouster from the White House

be away we'll have updates

remote island of Lamu
00:07:15
a UNESCO World Heritage site is under

projects on the mainland including
00:07:24
a port and an oil pipeline they also hope
to build the region's 1st coal fired
00:07:30
power plant while the infrastructure is
likely to boost the local economy some Lamo
00:07:36
residents who are either development that
the migration of outsiders will affect
00:07:41
the local culture and the architecture which
some say is already falling apart rude
00:07:48
Elman drop reports from Lamu where in the
narrow streets of la and Kenya where
00:07:54
cars don't fit and donkeys are the main
mode of transport the remoteness of the
00:08:00
island has helped maintain its 650 year
old Swahili culture and traditions.
00:08:07
But locals are wary construction of
00:08:09
a new ports all pipeline and transport
links on the mainland will bring more
00:08:15
outsiders to settle
00:08:16
a large move and change the young the
culture. We is with the century old
00:08:23
mosque we're trying our best to prevent
that kind of intervention or sort of that
00:08:28
kind of new development so that we can

00:08:54
opponents. Met is an activist
opposed to the coal plant we as
00:09:00
people are afraid because when people
come from other areas they come with many
00:09:05
things their own language their own culture
I mean their only way of living ended
00:09:12
these smite all that culture way that's
people have to leave and activists worried

00:34:31
Video way some
00:34:32
a young and you're listening to the
sunny side of sports on the Voice of
00:34:38
America and pro boxing Anthony Joshua
reclaimed the world heavyweight title over
00:34:44
the weekend when he scored
00:34:46
a unanimous decision victory against Andy
Ruiz Jr in Saudi Arabia we always go
00:34:52
when Newton has reaction from both fighters
now sporty gratings going. Green in
00:34:59
sunny following his victory Anthony Joshua
what we did this strategy and loyalty
00:35:05
I'm not perfect but I'm trying another
defining moment for British boxing thank you
00:35:12
to all my team
00:35:13
a night we will remember and thank you
where we used Jr We made history in the 2
00:35:18
boxers did make history their rematch
dubbed the clash on the Dunes was the 1st
00:35:25
ever world heavyweight championship fight
to take place in the Middle East and
00:35:30
afterwards the remarkably fresh looking
heavyweight champion told reporters it's
00:35:35
good when everything works out in the end
you know just talk. And we just flowed we
00:35:41
just we just blocks away from each throne
and Rob always told me even this point is
00:35:45
take it why don't just take it round by
round Don't worry about doing that why
00:35:49
about doing I just take it
round by round and it's
00:35:53
a brilliant. It's brilliant when
00:35:55
a parent comes together everything up in
school has to be put in and showcase them
00:36:00
one night and then. You know round by round
we won and we always have victim so.
00:36:06
Everything was up pretty well and Joshua
was asked if the victory was satisfying
00:36:11
despite not defeating Ruiz by
a knock out nice to chaotic
00:36:16
a light there was times I looked in on
these eyes and I wanted to put my head but
00:36:21
then I thought so myself this is boxing you
know I need to win for myself I need to
00:36:26
show people that this is the sweet science
of the scores well it's not it's not
00:36:32
like
00:36:33
a script where they say Anthony is going
to go it's not it's not wrestling this is
00:36:37
real life and it's dangerous so at the
box of my game plan and my coaches they
00:36:41
devised
00:36:42
a great strategy and I trusted in them and
I followed it through so even though.
00:36:49
I took my loss I took it like I'm understood
and I people comparing it to an exam
00:36:56
when you take your exam if you throw the
1st time you study and you prepare better
00:37:00
the next time and. I just knew it would
of my preparation my education and
00:37:07
discipline I just knew I was going to pass
this exam like it is and going into the
00:37:12
12th and final round
and the Ruiz Jr needed
00:37:15
a knockout to retain the heavyweight title
but that punch never came Saturday's
00:37:20
bout ended much differently for We've been
00:37:23
a did 6 months ago when he stopped
the previously undefeated Joshua be
00:37:28
a knockout in the 7th round and the
contrast didn't stop there the visual
00:37:34
difference between the 2 fighters has been
00:37:37
a talking point prior to their title rematch
Ruiz weighed in the heaviest he has
00:37:42
been for a fight in a
decade and he says that was
00:37:46
a mistake I was slimmer put on the weight
and hills it was my mistake you know.
00:37:54
And you know I think I felt so confident
and all that but I think I should have
00:38:01
trained harder I should. I said
00:38:03
a dead and lessons from my to my team and
so my coaches and you know nobody really
00:38:09
knows about. The training that we had
you know we did the best we can and we
00:38:16
always added his weight was not the only
mistake he made going into the fight then
00:38:21
we started to lay and I don't want
to say that 3 months of partying or
00:38:28
that I had
00:38:29
a salivary and one kind of back make has
cited show the kind of did and. Well
00:38:37
can I say. Learn learned this mistake
and I'm glad I learned and now that I'm
00:38:44
still young you know this is just
the beginning for me and there's
00:38:47
a lot more flies coming soon Anthony Joshua
On the other hand seem to have learned
00:38:53
from his past mistakes looking lighter
than ever Joshua dictated the pace of the
00:38:59
fight from the very 1st round and now with
00:39:02
a record of 23 wins and one defeat he was
asked what the chances are that he will
00:39:08
fight the winner of the
upcoming Tyson Fury Deonte
00:39:11
a wilder rematch I couldn't even tell you
the best thing would be to let them to
00:39:16
just get on with their fly and I thought
once that done they'll have a bit more of
00:39:21
a clue of what they want to do with their
careers and then if we're in their plans
00:39:25
and they know it's a fine us we're taking
00:39:29
a lot head injuries and I'm feeling more
and more confident as as the months and
00:39:33
weeks are going to Meanwhile
really as has hinted as
00:39:36
a possible 3 peat with the newly crowned
heavyweight champion and Joshua seemed to
00:39:41
be open to that suggestion and we will keep
you posted sports fans and that is all
00:39:47
from Mays Sunny back over to you
Thanks Gwen that's my video
00:39:51
a colleague when 10 for more reaction
to Anthony Joshua's victory Iron
00:39:58
Mike and bone Yeah he contacted the
president of the Nigerian Boxing Board of
00:40:03
Control roughly 000000 depo don't
foremost I'm lost I'll call it I
00:40:09
memorized all regular rich I'm
tired of. All I don't do You said
00:40:16
no cheering I'm no our own
minute one. More picture.
00:40:23
Children just are shouting I'm not going
to watch us fight. Want to watch fights I
00:40:30
don't know I'm going to step down and don't
go oh no I told my chariots 08 more us
00:40:35
. By the way this fight I was on telling
00:40:38
a I was on radio and I told him I actually
should fight because I'm. Sorry I
00:40:45
said if I tell you see a
problem I don't want to fight
00:40:48
a man like that asked your Aunt Janet just
sure you're right Charlamagne I lasted
00:40:52
longer reach the best way you can fight
them is to fight them from the cast down
00:40:57
strike them from the outside juggling with
your left want to all I can into right
00:41:01
and that's what it takes tryout and how
may I am sure I did that change in
00:41:07
a despair and a far cry it made
00:41:09
a mistake to have it was something I did
fall back. On direct that in believing
00:41:16
that it would just be what done God existing
to is can I use this and it worked out
00:41:21
it was an overwhelming it's far and there
is this sense that they are all they want
00:41:27
all the rounds I thought it tried and
still had all the while I have stood tall
00:41:32
just given to want to give him
one so I'll turn a church or
00:41:36
a nice touch Oh good now any Muslim I know
who fly with chicks return and the rules
00:41:42
after one or the you feel is the future
of I'm told the judge that he has to be
00:41:48
clearly is built Do you think if you go out
and fight the wild fires actually just
00:41:54
for
00:41:54
a mistrial after all if you had closed down
I pointed out you might well have called
00:41:59
him to call it
00:42:00
a day if you're still only sad I've replied
it was well I rest for now but it now
00:42:07
wants issue rest and then think of the
next afternoon I don't think you should go
00:42:12
out fight to me to think that impressed
I let them turn up right before you can
00:42:17
begin to see my dear has. Hands
in the making many books
00:42:23
rise and become one day well I can ask for
churches 1 and washing outroar since I
00:42:30
think you and the president of the us one
of one who has. A water bottle. But I
00:42:36
can't just fall right there. Was to me
but no I mean. I thought well since
00:42:43
some of the young farmers all had that
because I want to jump you. Know it's just
00:42:49
what you know I would cut you could also
fly well then how can you know what that
00:42:54
can actually walk on that door like you
said but let me tell you what I think god.
00:43:00
I've got but isn't there another is just
so Well 1 you know it's on the level where
00:43:05
it's yes or no you did not provide I think
this well I'm not sure that the roots
00:43:09
balance that's right for you all the deep
oh the president of the Nigerian Boxing
00:43:15
Board of Control He spoke with Iron Mike
and bone Yama telephone from Lego's
00:43:21
Nigeria I'm Sonny young and you're
listening to the Sunnyside of
00:43:27
sports on the Voice of
America it's time to cool
00:43:34
between the ropes once again with our
reigning Prensa pugilistic so numb d.
00:43:40
Hollywood Mo wait Good evening nom de
guerre Good evening sunny Nandi it seemed
00:43:46
like a.j.
00:43:47
Followed your game plan stick with the
jab bake those rounds easy unanimous
00:43:54
decision victory over Andy
Ruiz Jr was this a.j.
00:43:59
S best performance of his career I
was number one. And then the 2nd
00:44:06
will be met Klitschko when all this was
00:44:10
a master class he was able to
raise. Best a way to guarantee
00:44:17
a way with less Rams so I would
say this one which really is
00:44:22
a rematch based on his performance and
I'm saying it again this is just the
00:44:27
beginning to see the best. Nanda
you said before the fight how
00:44:34
much a.j.
00:44:34
Needed to. Change his style make adjustments
it seemed like he really followed
00:44:40
through you can correlate success kudos to
his team I do not believe we'll be able
00:44:47
to do it in 6 months if I
had a game plan and a.j.
00:44:52
a Photo of the game that if you look at
00:44:54
a fight closely you know
what set and why it's
00:44:56
a fight where he wanted to stand and mix
it up with really as I was rewarded about
00:45:01
it. In a fight game you can
make a very tough fight
00:45:05
a bit easy fight you look at it look like
it was aspiring You know some boxing fans
00:45:10
I used to see in heavyweights bring their
knockouts and I said it before this fight
00:45:15
I said there will be no duck outs
you know ducked down I had to be
00:45:19
a boring fight with some people but he did
what he had to do to win and that's what
00:45:23
my it went bad for England $80000000.00 and
$3.00 belts that is bounce back that's
00:45:30
what counts not do you
said this is probably
00:45:33
a jays best performance what about his jab
is that the best you've seen is jab they
00:45:38
jab reminds me of Larry Holmes jab go back
and look at Larry Holmes fight the Japs
00:45:44
always been the bread and butter would
have got jab you couldn't do it had to use
00:45:48
that Jap to put. And they're always off
balance and get really just without coming
00:45:54
and they're always going to set him step
and they're always going to square off
00:45:57
because there was nobody in front of him
and not only the Jap the footwork the
00:46:01
movement you know the movement the stick
and move stick can move sting like
00:46:06
a bee Flatow what you call it will have
it at least. This fight kind of takes you
00:46:12
back to the fight
00:46:13
a rumble in the jungle in Africa. It had
all the other brains all the styles that
00:46:20
there was no need to go d.m.
00:46:21
Back with this guy and get out and get
your nose broken now keep it moving stick
00:46:27
and move make it easy go home the ones
that don't like the fight then go look for
00:46:33
the un to weild it with this one punch
knockouts and this might be the lightest
00:46:38
we've seen a.j.
00:46:40
In his heavyweight career he looked in
great shape. You could see his muscles
00:46:46
popping out whereas the former world
heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz rather shameful
00:46:53
I think Nom de to make your 1st title
defense and come in 16 pounds heavier
00:47:00
than you did in the 1st fight Sonny he
said Friday morning when he got up got on
00:47:04
the scale he would 268 arms and you know
for this fight in Saudi Arabia to weigh in
00:47:09
was at 5 pm in America well we have big
fights we weigh at 1 pm or noon so between
00:47:17
it and the blacks being in Saudi Arabia
you were busy eating so you went from 268
00:47:23
to 21 and 3 pounds just
couldn't stay away from the.
00:47:30
Set and I know that school is at all to
dream you just showed no discipline or lack
00:47:35
of discipline when you're leaving California
you leave if you have many and it is
00:47:40
a man that made 10000000 for his flag
and then came back to California when I
00:47:45
thought it would $40000000.00 It is going
to be to dry for him to go up and get to
00:47:49
. Train he didn't train for 3 months in
the end look he was flat and he knew we'd
00:47:56
that he could decide to
cut up the ring get him
00:47:58
a bit tired but worked around
so he was just following a.j.
00:48:02
And able to cut up the reins that weights
we did we'll have just getting knocked
00:48:06
out in the last round in the 2nd part of
the flight so that's why he was and able
00:48:11
to do that and sit it in the past 90 I
was reminded of Buster Douglas he scored
00:48:16
that big upset victory over Mike Tyson
in Tokyo and then he quickly lost his
00:48:22
heavyweight crown the same fate
befalls Andy Ruiz Jr He talked about
00:48:29
maybe a trilogy against a.j.
00:48:32
Do you see that happening numpty no no way
the fight fans don't want to see Dr like
00:48:36
you for what if you if you went down like
a true Mexican awarded I would guess
00:48:40
a less they didn't know what
is impressive in to rob
00:48:43
a match you're not before you came and
picked up the check for $40000000.00 why
00:48:48
should we give you another chance no you
did not perform go back and train and get
00:48:53
yourself in shape and you still can be
00:48:55
a force to be reckoned with Tyson Fury wow
to fight him now everybody will run away
00:49:01
from him because he's still
00:49:02
a dangerous man if you dedicate themselves
to the game you can come in $283.00
00:49:07
pounds on
00:49:07
a Friday and that means Saturday night he
would come into the ring $300.00 ounce
00:49:13
sunny insane crazy Nandi will not
be with this big victory by a.j.
00:49:18
In Saudi Arabia does he get your vote as
the best heavyweight out there right now
00:49:24
right now sonny pound for pound Anthony
Joshua is the grand Quba of boxing because
00:49:30
